The United Nations of Aplan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Andrej Sevastiy with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 31.378 billion Aplans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aphone. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Aplandic economy, worth a remarkable 4,325 trillion Ollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,852 Ollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors, the military's newest anti-tank strategy is throwing a landmine like a frisbee, university admissions staff are blindfolded to prevent accidental bias, and police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aplan's national animal is the Red Panda, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aplan is ranked 310,489^th in the world and 4^th in Unity of Green Pastures for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -32.35 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
